Chapter 644: Chapter 488: Discovery of the Hikikomori NPC_2

"I’ll sell some materials," Hava muttered, knowing he still had quite a few on him.

He swiftly departed, striding past the puzzled glances of his companions at the door, heading to the recycling market. After selling some rare magic potion materials, he returned with the money in hand.

"I hit the jackpot!"

Minutes later, Hava emerged beaming from the bookstore, clutching a pile of prizes.

"Hava?" a muffled voice of his companions came inquiring, full of bewilderment, "What did you do?"

"What do you know!"

Hava slurped the saliva from his mouth: "All these, my spoils of war!"

He started putting his treasures away one by one, then handed over another item that he didn’t like to his companions.

"What is this?" his companion asked, puzzled.

"A badge, you wear it on your chest."

"And who is this person?"

"Seems to be called the Crimson Knight, another knight who is tall and burly like you."

In the story, the unremarkable Crimson Knight, who was briefly mentioned, was one of Hava’s least favorite characters.

"Where to next?"

Hava pondered: "Let’s find out how to get to Rand Kingdom."

He was certain that he wasn’t just trying to see what the people from the story looked like in real life, definitely not!

...

"Rand Kingdom? You’ve read those books too? I eagerly await the monthly updates!"

The man they asked responded excitedly, "My favorite is Queen Melulan, but it seems unlikely for you to get to Rand Kingdom now."

"Why not, isn’t this Shilu Continent?"

"This is Serylin Continent."

Hava: ...

So that’s how it was!

But how did they manage to interconnect literary works from different worlds?

"What do we do now?" his companion asked.

"Find another city and keep drawing!"

"What?"

"Cough cough, I mean, let’s look for the Undead."

The man nearby asked: "You’re looking for the Undead?"

"Yeah, do you know where they are?"

To Hava and company, as a special race that suddenly appeared on the Material Plane, the Undead surely had their communities and might occasionally venture into towns for trade, but mostly they kept to themselves, separate from the living.

"Once you leave the town and head west, there are many underground cities, and now the Undead of Serylin Continent are obsessed with them."

"Underground cities?"

Hava did indeed know about underground cities; the books related to the Black Knight he had read mentioned them. The minions of the Black Knight placed treasures in vaults and chests, and adventurers paid an entrance fee to raid the underground cities and seize the treasure.

Many aspects he didn’t understand, like why they had to seize the treasure, and why they would have to pay an entrance fee if it was a raid.

But it was worth a shot to try.

They left the town, heading west with the slowly setting sun overhead, and soon saw a series of peculiar buildings.

"Are all these people Undead? Why do they look so lethargic?"

Hava didn’t get it, his idea of Undead was of beings always full of fighting spirit, constantly battling and fighting, yet the Undead he saw were all languid and listless.

Some lounged under trees reading books, others painted, and a few were grilling meat.

Utterly at ease.

"Hey, guys, here comes an NPC."

"Yo, it’s an otaku!"

The tall figure was wearing a Crimson Knight badge, which went unnoticed.

Hava was different, with various death house adornments hung all over him, such as the cloak over the Black Knight’s armor, the Q-version pendant of the Black Knight, the Black Knight’s...

"Damn, it’s actually the Black Knight’s solo endorsement."

They happily gathered around.

Serylin was different from the other continents; Shilu Continent was considered the beloved child of version 1.0, Enstad was deemed the main battlefield of version 2.0.

Only Serylin Continent had always been the neglected one.

Without an environment to increase their strength, there were some underground cities, but after playing too many mini-games, they would also find them boring, so they collectively entered a mode of total negligence.

The deities had waged plenty of wars; the strong had gone to the frontlines of the battlefield, and those left behind didn’t even have the qualifications to strike a boss, so they completely abandoned all efforts and accepted their fate.

"We come from the Magic Land Northern Kingdom."

Hava decided to cut to the chase, "We’ve come to select the strong to serve the great King of Kings."

"A guide for the new map?"

The eyes of the Undead shone with excitement.

...

A six-legged three-headed Lizard Bull, pulling a pile of miscellaneous items as high as a building, slowly made its way along the path.

Above the pile of items, a young man was lounging with his legs crossed, still flipping through a book in his hand.

The farmer driving the Lizard Bull cart turned his head and said, "Sir, Dream Village is just up ahead."

"I’ll get off ahead."

The girl sitting beside the farmer, wearing a broad-brimmed hat to shade the sun, couldn’t help but look up, but she could only see his boots.

A sparkle flashed in her eyes, but the farmer quickly put his hand on her head.

"Stop dreaming."

He could tell what his daughter was thinking, but the passenger they had carried wielded a sword. Along the way, when they encountered a fearsome chicken-headed lion, he had dispatched the dreadful creature with a mere stroke of his blade—far stronger than any warrior the farmer had heard of.

The passenger was very handsome, strong and muscular, and also had a certain air of superiority. He was generous with his money; in every aspect, there was no way he would ever take notice of a farmer’s daughter.

Even the "stories" often told wouldn’t make it possible.

After finishing the book, the young man tossed it casually next to him—around his greatsword and cloak—where it disappeared without a trace.

He gazed at the sky as if lost in thought, "The envoys from Magic Land are becoming more numerous."

This person was Lind.

Because he had killed the Prince of Dual Swords and the Ana Ghost with a single strike, the absolute power of the Black Knight was beyond doubt. Deciding not to linger and waste time, Lind immediately embarked on his next action.

To seek even greater power.

Having embarked on the "Giant" path, he no longer hesitated, but becoming a deity wasn’t easy. Luckily, the Undead kept attacking the dungeons of the Prince of Dual Swords and the Ana Ghost, eventually choosing to pledge allegiance to Lind.

Constantly "sleeping" and then "awakening," his past loyalty and perseverance were slowly being torn apart.

When Lind was about to devour the Prince of Dual Swords as nourishment for his own ascent to divinity, the Prince immediately decided to bow his knightly head to Lind.

His surrender directly led to the surrender of the Ana Ghost; otherwise, no matter how many times it died, this brainless, crazed monster would never have given up so easily.

From their mouths, Lind learned that both the Prince of Dual Swords and the old man of the scrolls came from the same land, coincidentally from the "Moonlight Kingdom," a country Lind had never paid attention to before.

It was said to be very close by.

But since the game’s launch, not a single person had visited the Moonlight Kingdom.

And what’s more coincidental was that the Moonlight Kingdom had no deities to rule; neither the old man with the scrolls nor the other two were anything more than subordinate officials under the deities.

Being able to utilize three level-six powerhouses, his strength was at least on par with the Beastmaster’s in its heyday.

Lind came over expressly, retaining the principle of not being wasteful.

Taking a qualification to become a deity was definitely worth it.

As for the future, he would consider honing his 30 million swords and then returning to Enstad Continent to confront the Alliance’s deities with one strike, but he would definitely be careful this time, it would be best to have all the deities stay together, then with one blow take them all out with a single pot.

Only by truly becoming the "Dominus" might he gain the right to choose whether he would be an NPC, a boss, or an invincible backdrop character.

He was no longer content with just being the ordinary mayor of Newbie Village. After version 2.0 ended, Lind hoped he could become a main force that the officials had to acknowledge; no, he should say he wanted to find out what exactly "the officials" were.

From the current part, it seemed like they possessed intelligence, yet they also appeared to be just a purely operational machine.

"It would be good if they could take the Undead over there."

Lind was not opposed to the initiative of those visitors from Magic Land; he knew he would never be able to control the Undead. Anyway, with "Newbie Village" in his hands, the Undead had to go somewhere.
